RSS Connector additional attributes

[Benjamin Brandmeier <bd...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

currently the RSS Connector doesn't support the tag dc:creator, which
defines who has written the article.

Item-Example:

<item>
[...]
<pubDate>Sun, 13 Aug 2012 07:40:21 +0000</pubDate>
<dc:creator>Full Name</dc:creator>
[...]
<content:encoded>
<![CDATA[
<p>Some text</p>
]]>
</content:encoded>
[...]
</item>

It would be great if the connector was capable of that.

Maybe it <http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/It.html> would be an asset if
tags could be defined even dynamically. As far as I understand, the design
by now (metadata tab in job def), is only for assigning hard coded values
to metadata names, but this functionality has been provided already by the
solr-tab "forced metadata".

Is one of these two things worth a ticket?

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Whether or not dc:creator is handled in the RSS connector is a totally
different issue from whether there's overlapping functionality in tabs.

Please feel free to open a ticket for dc:creator.  If you could also
research all the other variants of RSS (e.g. all the Atom specs and the RSS
2.0 spec) for the equivalent functionality and add that to the ticket too,
that would be great.

The overlapping tab functionality is there for backwards compatibility
reasons; the Forced Metadata feature was a later addition than the Solr
Metadata tab.  There's no point opening a ticket for this issue.

Thanks,
Karl
